For undergraduate electrical engineering students or for practicing engineers and scientists interested in updating their understanding of modern electronics

One of the most widely used introductory books on semiconductor materials, physics, devices and technology, Solid State Electronic Devices aims to: 1) develop basic semiconductor physics concepts, so students can better understand current and future devices; and 2) provide a sound understanding of current semiconductor devices and technology, so that their applications to electronic and optoelectronic circuits and systems can be appreciated. Students are brought to a level of understanding that will enable them to read much of the current literature on new devices and applications.

Teaching and Learning Experience

This program will provide a better teaching and learning experiencefor you and your students. It will help:

• Provide a Sound Understanding of Current Semiconductor Devices: With this background, students will be able to see how their applications to electronic and optoelectronic circuits and systems are meaningful.
• Incorporate the Basics of Semiconductor Materials and Conduction Processes in Solids: Most of the commonly used semiconductor terms and concepts are introduced and related to a broad range of devices.
• Develop Basic Semiconductor Physics Concepts: With this background, students will be better able to understand current and future devices.

Hot Spot is typical Basil Dawkins. A hilarious but thought-provoking look at the vagaries of human relationships; forgiveness and second chances.
Set against the backdrop of a threat to the characters' livelihood by a multinational food franchise, the play explores how the human spirit coupled with innovation triumphs over capricious market forces.

He has nowhere to go and nothing to say...

Troubled teenager Billy Casper lives in a Yorkshire mining town. He is treated as a failure at school and his family and friends don't give a damn. His hopes, his future, mean nothing to anyone - least of all Billy. When he finds Kes, a Kestrel hawk, suddenly he discovers a new passion for life. He sees the hawk's silent strength in himself and there is trust and love in their relationship - something he has never had before. But burning in the hearts of both Kes and Billy is the will to confront the world. To destroy or be destroyed...

Barry Hines was born in the mining village of Hoyland Common, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire. He was educated at Ecclesfield Grammar School, where his main achievement was to be selected to play for the England Grammar Schools' football team. On leaving school he worked as an apprentice mining surveyor and played football for Barnsley (mainly in the A team), before entering Loughborough Training College to study Physical Education. He taught for several years in London and South Yorkshire before becoming a full-time writer. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and an Honorary Fellow of Sheffield Hallam University.
